Daily real estate briefing: Apartment prices cool, inventory rises and projects win awards

The real estate market is showing mixed signals. In Hanoi, weak liquidity has prompted many developers to increase discounts and incentives, bringing down the price level of new apartments for the first time after two years of continuous increases. Nationwide real estate inventory reached nearly 53,000 products in the third quarter, almost twice the figure recorded in the same period last year, as purchasing power declined while projects found it difficult to reduce selling prices. The primary villa and townhouse segment in Hanoi also faced absorption pressure as supply rose sharply but only around 30% of units found buyers, according to CBRE. At the same time, many homebuyers with loans have had to sell their properties, move to smaller homes or relocate farther from central areas after interest-rate support periods ended and floating rates increased. In the housing and urban development segment, Hanoi has asked the developer of the NO1 Ha Dinh social housing project to shorten the ...

Real Estate Briefing: Rising Supply, Low Absorption and Notable Projects and Awards

Hanoi’s primary market recorded a sharp increase in the supply of villas and townhouses in the third quarter, but according to CBRE, only about 30% of units were absorbed because prices remained high. In the affordable housing segment, a social housing project in Phuc Thinh is expected to be priced at VND 29.7 million per square meter. Meanwhile, housing demand in northern Ho Chi Minh City is expected to rise alongside plans to attract high-tech investment and international experts. In Ho Chi Minh City, more than 3.3 hectares of production land in An Phu Ward have been approved for conversion to develop the Phu Gia Khiem apartment project. However, land procedures, site clearance and the requirement for synchronized infrastructure investment remain major bottlenecks in expanding the urban area. Financial pressure is also continuing to affect homebuyers, as many have had to sell properties, move to smaller apartments or relocate farther from the city center after interest-rate support e...

Daily Real Estate Briefing: Mortgage Pressure, New Supply and Major Projects

The real estate market recorded notable developments across housing, land and commercial property segments. After the end of interest rate support periods, some homebuyers have had to sell their properties, move to smaller homes or choose locations farther from city centers to ease financial pressure as floating interest rates rise. Meanwhile, primary supply from two large urban projects in western and southern Ho Chi Minh City, where prices are lower, pushed townhouse prices down by nearly 33% year on year. The city’s retail absorption also fell 26% in the third quarter as sports, lifestyle and entertainment chains reduced their floor space. In contrast, condotel sales in the third quarter increased more than fivefold from the previous quarter, despite continued sluggishness in the resort property market. In Ho Chi Minh City, municipal authorities resolved legal issues and allowed Giang Nam Company to convert more than 3.3 hectares of production land for the Phu Gia Khiem apartment ...

Daily Real Estate Briefing: Falling Prices, Diverging Liquidity and New Projects

The real estate market continued to show mixed developments in the third quarter. In Ho Chi Minh City, primary supply from two large urban developments in the western and southern areas, where prices were lower, pushed landed housing prices down by nearly 33% year on year, according to Savills. In the retail sector, absorption fell 26% during the quarter as sports, lifestyle and entertainment chains reduced their premises, according to Knight Frank. DXS-FERI also recorded real estate price declines of 5-20% in several areas, as some new projects adjusted prices below the prevailing local levels. Amid large supply, the Vietnam Association of Realtors recommended that developers adjust their product structure and limit high-end housing development to avoid the risk of oversupply. Despite the overall slowdown, several segments and localities showed positive signals. Lam Dong recorded 7,103 land transactions in the third quarter, up 13% from the same period last year.
